University of California - BerkeleyThe Chicano/Latino Studies Program is an interdisciplinary formation grounded in the decolonization and liberation projects of U.S. Latina/os and their allies in the civil rights movements of the 1960s that continue through the present for ethnic/racial, gender, class and sexual equality and freedom. Our courses on the U.S. Latina/o experience continue their historic mission of contributing to the production of truly universal knowledges about the United States and an increasingly interconnected world, broadening and deepening, beyond the limited provincialism of Eurocentric perspectives, the disciplinary offerings in the traditional fields of the humanities and social sciences. To achieve this we take seriously the knowledges, epistemologies and critical thinking produced by racially and sexually oppressed subjects.
